First aid kit / Wound care

[SilentShifter]

Im pretty new at all this roadbike stuff so could you tell me what first aid materials I should carry with me should I need them for a crash.

What is the process you go through to clean, wrap and care for wounds/road rash?

Thanks!

Good info here.

My saddlepack includes a folded up ziplock bag with a few antiseptic and bee sting towlettes, a couple of gauze pads, a duoderm square, some mini packets of neosporin, a few butterfly closures and bandaids, and a length of white fishnet mesh, a section of moleskin, and a couple of motrin and antihistamine tablets. It sounds like a lot but it packs really tight in the bottom of my saddlepack.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, that does help. Hopefully something I won't have to worry about Just the thought makes me not want to bike
